About

Universal Home Improvement of Texas, LLC is a Houston roofing and home improvement contractor at 5100 Westheimer Rd, Suite 200. BBB records show the business started in 2011 and has held BBB accreditation with an A plus rating since February 2016. Google reviewers give the business a 4.0 star average on a small number of reviews. A website associated with the Universal Home Improvement name in some directories (uhi4u.com) describes operations only in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Colorado under an Illinois contractor license, with no mention of Texas. Because that content could not be tied to this Houston entity with confidence, it was not used as a source for this listing, and no company website is reported here.

Insurance & credential verification

Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so we verify companies the way homeowners actually can: confirming insurance coverage, checking RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) status, and checking city or county registration where the local jurisdiction requires one. Every credential below links to the actual issuing organization's own public lookup — don't just take our checkmark for it. Always ask for a current certificate of insurance before signing any contract.

Confirm this yourself: ask the company for their certificate of insurance (COI). Note that RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned and held by a named individual at a company, not by the business itself, which is why we name that person above where we know it; Texas issues no company roofing license at all. RCAT and NTRCA status can be checked in their own public directories (RCAT, NTRCA) — use the "Licensed"/"Accredited" filter to see more than plain membership. GAF's contractor verification tool and Owens Corning's Texas locator confirm those tiers directly; CertainTeed doesn't offer a comparable self-serve lookup, so ask to see that certificate in person. BBB accreditation and rating are on bbb.org. Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly. Corpus Christi's STAR program has its own online contractor registry — for any other city or county registration claim, confirm directly with that jurisdiction's permit office.

Frequently asked

Does Universal Home Improvement of Texas hold a Texas state roofing license?
No roofing company in Texas can, because Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level. Ask any contractor for proof of general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage instead of a state license.
Is the company a member of the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT)?
A search of the RCAT online directory did not return a listing for this business as of this review. Ask the company directly whether it holds RCAT Member status or the separately earned Licensed Roofing Contractor credential.
Is Universal Home Improvement of Texas BBB accredited?
Yes. BBB records show accreditation since February 10, 2016, with an A plus rating.
What should a homeowner ask before signing a roofing contract?
Ask for proof of insurance, a written scope of work, the manufacturer materials to be used, and a clear payment and warranty schedule before signing anything.
Does the company install impact resistant Class 4 shingles for hail protection?
This was not confirmed on a source that could be verified for this listing. Ask the company directly which shingle lines it installs and whether Class 4 options are available.
Does the company help homeowners with storm or hail insurance claims?
Not independently confirmed for this listing. Ask the company about its insurance claim process before hiring.
What permits are needed for a roof replacement in Houston?
The City of Houston generally requires a permit for roof replacement, and a reputable contractor pulls the permit and schedules the required inspections rather than leaving that to the homeowner.
How can a homeowner verify a Houston roofer's insurance coverage?
Request a certificate of insurance directly from the contractor or its insurance agent, naming the homeowner as certificate holder, and confirm it is current before work begins.
What is the company's Google rating?
Google reviewers give the business a 4.0 star average based on a small number of reviews as of this review.
Where is the company located?
The business is based in Houston, Harris County, at the Westheimer Road address on file with the BBB.
